get new ceo and secretarial supervisor

attorneys that I worked for were very pleasant

management and secretarial supervisor are horrendous, moral among the staff was lowest of any firm I have worked!

where to start?

Location near metro and restaurants

Management needs to be reminded of the value of their associates and start incentive programs to make up for the long hours.

This firm offers a great deal of benefits to its new employees and is extremely competitive with its salary range and advancements.

There is fierce competition amongst the associates and new hires can easily be made to feel used and in most cases not wanted.

I would like to see management get on the ball and make sure that everyone is working on a case at all times. I also think that we could talk a bit more in a candid fashion during work hours when there's downtime.

Pay is excellent and there is plenty of overtime to go around. The staff to secretary to attorney relationship is great and everyone is extremely friendly and concerned not only with your well-being but also with their client's wellbeing as well.

Growth feels restricted and the work environment can feel a bit too serious at times. I also feel as though the work flow is not streamlined enough and there can be a lack of general direction at times.

The best advice is to avoid this firm until it can be shown that there is a difference in management and perhaps also a difference in culture change that allows for work-life balance.

While this firm offers a lot to new associates in terms of benefits and salary, the hypercompetitive environment is enough to make many associates feel unwelcome. That is, you will need to show increases in your billable hours over consecutive quarters. Many clients will be turned off by this and take their feelings out on the associates who then must report to management.

There is a cut throat culture at this firm and it spills over into employees' private home lives. Many associates report being unhappy with their career trajectories at this firm.
